"decreased contact angle" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to describe a situation where the angle of contact between two objects decreases. For example, "The decreased contact angle between the two surfaces caused the water droplet to slide off quickly."
Plasma treatment for 0.25 s decreased contact angle to 35.8°.
A decreased contact angle between a water droplet and leaf surface indicates increased wettability.
Improved cellular response was acquired owing to the favourable uniformity and interfacial compatibility, as well as the decreased contact angle and elevated roughness, through surface-modification strategy.
Ni was found to preferentially segregate at the Ag/WC interface resulting in a decreased contact angle as compared to Cu.
MWCNTs in MPD Pressure of 375 kPa and 20 mM NaCl as feed solution Increased hydrophilicity, increased surface roughness, decreased contact angle 89.3 37.7 Amini et al. (2013) Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT IPP (MPD/TMC).
Increasing hydrophilic nanoparticles will also decrease contact angle of aqueous phase and increase water wetness.
As the dominant parameter, the bubble growth rate-solidification rate ratio, decreases, contact angle is found to approach 90°.
However, there is a very clear shift to the right for the nanofluid data, illustrating the reduction in the momentum force with decreasing contact angle.
Our study showed that contact angle had negative effect on the jumping velocity, with the decreasing contact angle, both peak jumping velocities and radius range for droplet jumping would be reduced.
The amount of bacteria attached to the surface has been shown to increase with decreasing contact angle within the range from 110 to ca. 70-80 (Fletcher and Pringle [1985]).
Contact angle measurements and water absorption data of solution cast films showed that the polyesters have relatively high hydrophilicity and decreasing contact angle with increasing amount of lactide moieties.
